You’ve Been Fooled!

In the following period, Ren continued chatting with Kaguya about the student council. After having black tea, he bid farewell.

Kaguya had achieved her goal, saying goodbye to him happily.

If she became the president, they would have plenty of time to meet and socialize, so there was no need to rush.

Moreover, now that the issue was resolved, she had no reason to keep him here.

"Now, this matter is finally settled."

Sitting on the sofa again, Kaguya couldn't help but smile.

Now that Ren had agreed to join the student council, it would be easier for Fumino and Rizu.

She believed that by sharing this news with them, she could easily invite them to join as well.

However, she didn't have their contact information, so there was no need to hurry. It wouldn't be too late to wait until tomorrow or when they had time.

Before that, do something else.

For example, inform Hayasaka about this matter, tell her how charming she found him, and easily convince Ren.

So Kaguya took out her phone and found Hayasaka's email address.

Shinomiya Kaguya: [Hayasaka, I persuaded Kamikawa-kun to join the student council.]

(Really?)

Hayasaka who was still chatting with her classmates, heard the vibration of her phone, took it out, peeked, and learned about this extraordinary fact.

Kaguya was able to convince Ren, who always felt unreal.

But she sent her a message, showing that this was true.

When others' attention wasn't on her, Hayasaka edited the email and replied.

Hayasaka Ai: [Congratulations to Kaguya-sama. How did you persuade Kamikawa-kun? Was it because of a persuasion plan?]

Even though she knew that as a servant, she shouldn't ask such questions, it really made her curious.

It could be a little offensive.

Shinomiya Kaguya: [No.]

The persuasion plan mentioned by Hayasaka was specifically prepared by her for Ren, with the goal of persuading him to join the student council. Hayasaka also contributed many strategies to this persuasion plan.

But before this persuasion plan could be implemented, Ren agreed.

This was the main reason why Kaguya felt confused.

Hayasaka Ai: [Then what did you rely on to convince him?]

Hayasaka was quite curious.

Seeing her question, Kaguya was confused about her reasoning.

After all, when it came to the student council, Ren agreed after just saying two sentences, making it difficult for people to figure out what was going on.

Could it be...

Shinomiya Kaguya: [Personal charm.]

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Seeing her answer, Hayasaka choked on the drink she had just taken.

"What's wrong with you?"

A female classmate who was talking noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I accidentally choked."

After wiping it with a tissue, Hayasaka explained.

She never expected Kaguya's answer to be like this. How could she be so confident?

Kaguya was indeed charming, judging from her popularity among her classmates, and she didn't deny it.

But it was Kamikawa Ren, who was completely immune!

Thinking about this, Ren's expressionless face appeared in her mind. Until now, Hayasaka had never seen him with any other expression. He always looked like this.

In such a state, Hayasaka didn't expect that Ren would agree to join the student council because of Kaguya's charm.

If that's the case, he should have agreed the first time he was invited, not like now.

Maybe Ren agreed because he felt sorry for Kaguya?

Hayasaka made the most reasonable guess, especially because she couldn't think of any other reason why he would agree to join.

(As I think about it, suddenly I feel sorry for Kaguya-sama...)

Hayasaka Ai: [So, even Kamikawa-kun couldn't resist your charm, Kaguya-sama?]

Shinomiya Kaguya: [Yes.]

After answering with a blushing face, Kaguya put down her phone and began sorting the tea set.

Sometimes, being too good was a mistake.

······

On the other side, after returning to the classroom, Ren immediately found Fumino and Rizu.

They were both sitting in their respective seats, chatting, which was comfortable for him.

"I joined the student council." Ren said directly.

"So fast?" Fumino was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Kaguya to be so efficient. She had just finished explaining it to them yesterday, and today she successfully convinced Ren.

"Yes." Ren nodded and left. "I'll be going back now."

He only came to inform them of his issue as per Fumino's instructions earlier. He didn't have any other business. Now that his problem was resolved, he naturally wanted to leave.

"Okay."

Fumino was already used to it when he left after saying that.

"Then, Fumino, should we also inform Shinomiya-san that we agree to join the student council?" Rizu asked.

"Let's discuss it tomorrow; don't worry." Fumino made the decision.

"Um."

"Where are you going now? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

As soon as Ren sat in his seat, he was questioned by Gabriel.

At first, Gabriel thought he only went out to use the bathroom, but it was clear that something was wrong. Moreover, as soon as he returned, he went to Fumino side instead of going back to his seat. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became.

"I went to the student council. I talked to Shinomiya-san about joining the student council." Ren answered each of her two questions.

"Kamikawa, do you want to join the student council?" Vigne understood the key points.

"Yes." Ren admitted, "But I haven't become a member of the student council yet. I will be a member in the future."

"What's wrong with you? Did you get fooled?"

Gabriel frowned and asked suspiciously.

"I'm not fooled." Ren denied.

Gabriel asked, "Then what happened to you?"

"Like this..."

Then, Ren briefly explained various things that happened between him and Kaguya, as well as the reasons for joining the student council.

Of course, he only talked about a few key points, such as how he befriended her, how he hid with her in the sports storage, and how he used superpowers to cover up the past without telling her.

"You must have been fooled."

After listening, Gabriel concluded.
